The open season for presidential possibilities features Hoover amid vast debate. Mining man Herbert Hoover is evaluated as a potential leader with business and humanitarian track records, praised for sagacity and impartiality. Support spans party lines with calls for a strong, virile Americanism guiding reconstruction and national policy.
A lengthy critique mocks Hoover as a proposed ruler of Unitania a fictional state. It argues the idea reflects anglomania and biases within Republican circles and cites The Weekly Metengram and Senator Reed as drivers while lampooning imperial dreams and the notion of American surrender to Britain.
Senator Vest defended a man whose dog was shot by a neighbor. The jury awarded five hundred dollars after Vest’s address, delivered inside the courtroom. The speech warned that trust and reputation can fail under misfortune and malice.
Dr. 8 P Orth of Cornell argues the treaty should be kept separate from the league covenant but warns the president's push to unite them risks American autonomy. He urges ratification with safeguards and a later restoration of orderly international cooperation. He paints a grim picture if the union goes ahead and promotes a rational, natural path to world affairs.
Will H. Hays, chairman of the Republican National Committee, spoke before party workers at a Chicago banquet, presenting labor representation in national councils, business support, tempered taxation, a long-term war debt plan, restrained federalization, and a return to constitutional rule in peace. He urged strong action against extremism and urged honest administration while opposing government ownership and sectional or sectarian mobilization.
The poem speaks of fate as builders shaping life within Time's walls. Some deeds are large, others seem mere ornament, yet every piece supports the whole. Build today with a solid base to reach future heights, unseen and seen, so gods may dwell in a beautiful, complete house.
A New York Independent defense of disfranchisement laws argues states may fix elector qualifications and that reducing state representation is unconstitutional for abridging male voters over 21. The piece notes a constitutional amendment authorizes such reductions, countering the opposing view.
Four hundred thousand bituminous miners demanded 60 percent higher pay and an extra rest day causing shutdowns across industries. President Wilson condemned strikes as unlawful. Wave of patriotism surged as strike leaders were arrested. Losses estimated at 126 million dollars, with 60 million in miners’ wages and 66 million borne by bystanders. Public welfare and respect suffered.
The Salt Lake Mining Review reports strong optimism for active silver and lead production in the coming year. Increased interest fills mining camps and districts with silver lead ore deposits, whether isolated or combined, amid recent fluctuations in activity.
The article notes silver price above parity value of 1.2929 per ounce, enabling extensive operation and reopening of old mines. Lead shows steady gains and stronger outlook, with zinc also strengthening. Producers anticipate three 8-hour shifts and full employment as mining activity expands across localities.
The Bureau of Mines notes France hoards small silver change causing withdrawal of coins from circulation. Depreciation of French exchange and speculation drive the issue as export and melting of silver for bullion rise. France normally produces about 0.2 percent of world silver and relies on others for supply.
The British Columbia Prospectors' Protective association formed in Nelson with 85 members. Officers are J. W. Mulholland president C. E. Crossley vice president Fred A. Starkey secretary and Dr. F. E. Morrison treasurer. Goals include seeking government road and trail funds for mining properties urging a government ore testing plant in the Kootenay district and reopening dormant crown granted mineral claims. Blister and Lake copper production in 1919 totaled 1278 million pounds, up from 1908 million the prior year. Copper sales for November and December are estimated at 625 million pounds, with December alone at 600 million pounds, about one-fifth exported abroad. A small stock decrease is indicated and expected.
